The advantage of age that God has provided me, has enabled me with the wisdom that government is the problem, not the solution.

The more government involvement in the life of any man, woman, or child, the greater the problems and the less freedom exists.

The less government involvement, the less the problems and the greater freedom exists.

This was one of the greatest worries of our founding fathers.

Experience hath shewn, that even under the best forms of government those entrusted with power have, in time, and by slow operations, perverted it into tyranny. - Thomas Jefferson

I own that I am not a friend to a very energetic government. It is always oppressive. - Thomas Jefferson

But a Constitution of Government once changed from Freedom, can never be restored. Liberty, once lost, is lost forever. - John Adams

No one defines me but me.

Ability and inclination to listen and willingness to discuss to other points of view.

Ability to read with better than average comprehension

Better than average comprehension of rudimentary mathematics: Sufficient knowledge of statistical inference to know that statistitions can prove lies to be gospel. (Old Farmers Lore)--Figures lie and liars figure.

I am not a professional politician. I have no ties to any political party. My only "special interest" is AMERICA. I am more than happy to answer any questions on my political, social, or economic positions and concerns or listen and discuss your views and concerns. I have no hidden agenda. My only agenda is to competently represent the interests of the people of the Fifth Congressional District of Massachusetts within the guidelines of the Constitution of the United States of America.

I do not take a fight lightly. I am a student of the philosophy "Do not fight unless you plan to win". As my dear old Pa put it, "If you don't put your heart into the fight, you're going to get your ass kicked". That may have been how he came out of 44 months of combat in WWII almost unscathed with 3 Bronze Stars. I know that his spirit is supporting me. I am my father's son.

I am a very independent person who is very frank and open (often to a fault; I have been referred to as cocky)

I have an aversion to prevarication (I have been known to spin a tall tale at times in jest or antagonism)

I am normally very patient unless I feel that I am being provoked

I am very disappointed in the recent governmental policies and the direction that it appears the present government is taking us. I agree that change has been needed (and still is) but the changes desired by the present powers are too much, too rapid and in the wrong direction.

I do not believe that it is a function the governments to take care of us. I believe that the function of government is to maintain a safe and free environment and encourage a robust economic system that encourages all citizens to pursue a free, rewarding, productive, and happy existence.

I am no different than you. I am your neighbor. I have worked hard and saved for 50 years and am retired in a modest home, trying to get by paying too high mortgage, taxes, utilities, etc., hoping to be able to enjoy the fruits of my labor in a modest retirement. I do not have a winter home in Florida or summer home on the 'Cape'. We don't have a housekeeper so I help clean the house and do all of the grocery shopping and most of the cooking. I do a wicked pot roast, not to mention a great rye bread and corn bread.

I am unwavering in my pride to be an American and I consider the Constitution of the United States to be the definition of Americanism. I consider any act that evades the Constitution an anti-American activity. Most of what Congress does falls into this category. I do not believe that the people of the fifth district are being proprly represented in national government in accordance with the Constitution. I do personally live with the shame that my government supports a national policy of allowing the termination of America's future in the womb.

NOTE: I refer to myself (and always have) as an American, not "white" American or "Irish" American. I am proud of my heritage and find it quite interesting to trace it but I am first, last and foremost an American. As I think everyone will agree, using the terms "white" or "Irish" implies intended fundamental divisiveness.

I've been told that I have too much time on my hands....Maybe so. Since I retired in February 2008, I've been trading in the Stock market. As I sat at my desk doing the research and following the market tics, I followed the political situation developing into the election and since, and the deteriorating economic turmoil. I had the time to closely examine all of the speeches, reactions, and comments. I was very closely involved during the Bear Sterns and Lehman debacles....and General Motors and Chrysler. I watched the blatant disregard by government of established contract law and bankruptcy proceedings. Researching the causes and results of the housing boom and bust, I came to the conclusion that it was all the result of negligent agenda driven government policies. I was able to observe the deceit and partisanship of Congress (House and Senate) and the Administration. I have been able to read and study the most simple and brilliant legal document ever written by man, the Constitution of the United States of America. I have observed this government ignore it as if it were yesterday's newspaper. I then did some more research on how this has been going on for more than a century. The departure from strict adherence to this document has been the cause of more problems than have been solved. This has come about from the interpretation being drawn from the events of the day, the Constitution is a living document and must be related to the times. This is to put it mildly, crap. The Constitution was written in the language of the day but it is very simple and clear in its definitions and meanings. The only way to interpret it in any other way is to add meanings that are clearly not there or ignore as irrelevant explicit stated meanings. In 2010, I mounted an unfinanced campaign in the 5th district of Massachussetts against the established Democrat political machine. Even though it was unsuccessful, I gained much insight and knowledge of the process. I have since returned home and have decided to again offer my efforts to my home state of common sense folks.

You sound quite conservative....so why Independent and not Republican?

You make it sound as though I'm blaming Democrats for all of the problems. Not so....the Democrats are the party bearing the most recent blame, but the Republicans also bear their share of partisan blame.

"The alternate domination of one faction over another, sharpened by the spirit of revenge natural to party dissention, which in different ages & countries has perpetrated the most horrid enormities, is itself a frightful despotism. But this leads at length to a more formal and permanent despotism. The disorders & miseries, which result, gradually incline the minds of men to seek security & repose in the absolute power of an Individual: and sooner or later the chief of some prevailing faction more able or more fortunate than his competitors, turns this disposition to the purposes of his own elevation, on the ruins of Public Liberty." — George Washington, September 19, 1796

The only way to rid Congress of partisanship is to rid it of partisans (strict lock step political party hacks). These partisans are controlled (action and vote) by the party elite who control campaign money and support (obedient little party members can be assured continued employment). What this country needs is 435 independent minded Representatives and 100 similiarly minded Senators. In such case Representatives and Senators would form coalitions around ideas instead of ideology and the power elite. I would like to prove to the nation that party loyalty is a requirement to serve in the power center of the nation (world).

Our present economic problems have been brewing for years. The deceit and inept government policies based on instilling fear on the populace have wasted our fiscal and human treasures on wars on poverty, drugs and terror. Wars based on lies (Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq) keep the elite power brokers and politicians in power draining the life blood and wellbeing of America.

I could go on and on but I think that I've made the point. Over the years it hasn't been just the Democrats or Republicans that have been guilty of negligence. I support ideas of both parties and I think that I have explicitly described where I stand on issues and will continue to update my positions as I further discuss and research them and new issues. In order to get a true picture of the political landscape, everyone should study and question my stance as well as all other candidates. Most everyone will spin good times to come if you elect them, but it is the responsibility of all voters to "question boldly". A lot of things fall unnoticed through the cracks and are not even considered until it's too late. When I say "too late" I mean after the election when you can't really do anything about it until the next election. It is your responsibility to yourself, your family, the city, county, state, and country to know who and what you are voting for. Voting blindly (we have seen this all to often….in Congress) or strictly along party lines because your father and grandfather did is as bad as not voting at all. I take pride in being an Independent, as I can form my own opinion rather than having someone else telling me what I should think or fall out of favor with the party. What party? I repeat that I have no party and take pride in being able to form my own opinion and can in fact change my mind if someone provides a strong enough argument. If you think that that is a strange attitude for a politician, you are right. A politician must convince you that they know best and you need to follow their lead. I am not a politician. I am your neighbor. I have experienced the same things that you have. I am concerned about the same things that you are… taxes, economy, healthcare, schools, retirement...... Talk to me. We can work things out. We can get a better control of the government and our future. Help me to help you.....

OK, but you are new to politics and have lofty ideals and want to do right by the people that you want to represent. How do we know that you won't lose your political soul and be corrupted with power in a couple of years or terms?

First of all, I am not a professional politician! Nor do I have the desire to be. If I am elected I will accept no more that 2 terms. I do want to be able to enjoy some of my retirement.

I do not associate myself with organized religion but I do have personal faith. I believe that Christians (as I do) protect their spiritual soul with the word of God. I believe that Americans (no matter what their party) must protect their political soul with the words of the founders. God doesn't give us the choice to change his words in the Bible, Torah, Koran...or whatever religious writings that you follow, if you disagree. Our founders did. If we disagree with the words of the Constitution, we can change them. They left us a process in which we can make changes to the supreme law of the land. They did not leave it open to interpretation as has become the norm. There are those that disagree with its words and try to convince us that it means something else. It must be viewed and followed as written. If you don't agree with it follow the process and change the words if you can. Otherwise, respect and follow it. I have often said that the Constitution is the definition of Americanism and evasion of it constitutes an un-American activity. I will wrap myself in the Constitution and gird myself with the founders’ words. This I believe is the only way to preserve my political soul.
